PHAR6239

This course provides students an immersive experience in the skills necessary for effective formulary review and management. This course is designed to support students as they complete the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) P&T Student Competition, a team-based competition designed to mimic the process that health plans use when making formulary coverage determinations for new medications. Preparing a P&T Competition entry involves extensive research into the clinical, humanistic, and pharmacoeconomic evidence supporting the value proposition of a relatively newly approved medication. Applying principles of evidence-based medicine, student teams will make a formulary recommendation having gathered, reviewed, critically appraised, and synthesized information including (but not limited to): (a) Clinical trial results; (b) Treatment guidelines; (c) Comparative effectiveness reports; (d) Pharmacoeconomic studies; (e) Outcomes data; and (f) FDA-approved prescribing information and safety data.
